Sushi

This evening my hubby was sweet enough to pick up some sushi on the way home from work. Being his thoughtful self, he even remembered to ask for the avocado to be left off the Philly roll (just the way I like it). Here is a little taste of my favorite roll.
Caprese

Well it’s finally here! The very first food post. The good thing is that this is the first of two for today. So here we go…
My favorite coworker U. generously shared with me some of the fruits of her labor. She is an avid gardner and grows all kinds of fruits and vegetables in her garden. Earlier this week she surprised me with a few tomatoes from her garden. Fresh tomatoes off the vine are absolutely amazing.
What better way to enjoy freshly grown tomatoes? Caprese salad of course.
After work and a visit to the gym, my husband and I picked up some mozzarella cheese and I threw together a fresh caprese salad with some black pepper and virgin olive oil. For a hint of color…a mint leaf. I know, it’s not basil but it’s a twist on the traditional (and all I had at home).
Hubby helped with capturing this great dish, which by the way, was cleaned off the plate in it’s entirety within 10 minutes after this photo was taken.
Thanks U. for the tasty tomatoes!

The last few weeks I spent a lot of time thinking about my hobbies. I don’t know why I didn’t consider this before, but I love food (eating in particular) and over the last few years I’ve gotten into cooking more and more. I also love photography. Why not combine it into a great project?
A friend of my is a big foodie and big on cooking up a storm and experimenting with new dishes. After talking things over with her, we decided to collaborate on this new project. The idea being that I photograph her cooking endeavors and of course share them with you. We might even share the recipes.
So what’s a food blog post without a photograph of food? Well here is a little something from the past to start you off with. This isn’t a recipe but something mouth watering…
See you back here in a few weeks for the unvailing of our first dish!
